Well OP, that fictional meritocracy where everyone gets in and gets off on their merits alone is still around...in fiction, where it's always been.
Here in reality, the world has never been that way, and especially with regards to education.
Yeah, the OP was hilariously naive. There's currently a massive scandal involving high profile celebrities dealing with this very issue. The system is already corrupt in favor of the wealthy. The wealthy kids have a long list of advantages over equally intelligent kids coming from a middle class or lower background.
